    Identify year ---Help Please

    I've been asked to help identify year of a 70s GS750. Wire wheel model. The sticker is gone. Stamped Frame VIN is GS750-3XXXX. I told him to come here and search, he did and can't find the info. I also did and can't find it, thought there use to be chart.

    Here you go:

    79 GS1000S
    79 GS1000S (another one)
    80 GSX750
    80 GS550
    80 CB650 cafe racer
    75 PC50 - the one with OHV and pedals...
    75 TS100 - being ridden (suicidally) by my father

        The idea is to match the VIN with this reference and find out the model that way.
        If you want more specific help post your VIN and engine number.

          If it's got wire wheels it's a GS750C. It would be a GS750EC if it had snowflake wheels.

            That's correct as long as the wheels are original to the bike

            The GS750C (1978) does have a VIN number GS750-32604 and up ...

                The letter in the listing is the model year and will not appear in the VIN. If the VIN does not have a letter in the stamping then it's the standard model - not an E. The E models have an E after the 750 in the stamping on the the frame and on the VIN sticker. You can only tell the year by the frame number - engines can be switched. Your buddy has a '78 GS750.

                  edit: Found this on the internet, very helpful for pre-1981 model, year identifications. Search for "book_motorcycle_identification.pdf"

                  My friends bike is a 1977 GS750B
